Oxford Hot Grips.

[magicfairy]

I got these http://www.warmfit.com/. That way I kept my original grips, which suit my small hands. The bar heaters work well, but take a bit longer to kick in. Work really well.

I am pretty sure my memory is not so far gone that I will forget to turn them off just yet.

well it was your birthday yesterday .. are you sure your memory is not gone

cowyboyz it takes my grips about two mins to be at operating temp so while the oil is flowing around the parts that need it before I ride my grips are heating..

Got home in the rain one night a couple of years back had some spare gloves up on the handle bars behind the screen (cruiser) where my box was never saw the light on the control box turned off the bike, couple of hours later OH NO had to push, so this time had them wired into my key now no probs...

yeah I got some recently too! only payed about $90 locally in Dunners. Took a wee while to fit to get all the cable runs neat n tidy but well worth the time. Only had them on %50 so far - plenty of heat. Only critism is the LED's are bloody bright!

which brings me onto another topic in a thread I will be starting on a forum near you soon.

Must admit to having given them some thought over the years,usually when my fingers are so cold it hurts then when you get home warm them up and forget about it.Have the day off tomorrow so will stop thinking and go order a set.

M... I have got a set in my garage that have never been used!

Make me an offer I can't refuse.

Tiger has them factory fitted but I hardly ever use them. (don't like them actually) Cheers John.

Had heated grips fit to my last bike and got them on my latest one as well. Wouldn't go with out them now. I also run with summer gloves in winter.

[Pumba]

I have been thinking about them and probally will with the new bike.

And when you think about it a good set of winter gloves is at least $100 (and your hands are normally still cold), so it even makes good money sense.

the oxfords have a voltage check on them - if the battery is below 11.5V they wont turn on

yup, and if you leave them on they will turn themselves off pretty quick.

I did a 1,100km trip with oxfords, and I'm not totally persuaded - I took hours to warm up by the time I got home, and that was with a singlet, two layers of polypro, a fleece jersey, jacket, and DriRiders. They could be warmer I think. They most certainly will not "take your skin off". They are like hanging onto a nice warm fat pipe. That brings me to the next problem - the grip size is er, large - I don't particularly like fat grips.

Would I fit them again ? as I say, I am not persuaded. They are nice for sure, but I think I will check out a heated vest.
